I dream about the day that the average would-be rapist is afraid to approach a woman who's walking alone at night. I dream of the day when two punks talk each other out of sticking up a liquor store because it's too damn risky.

We've already banned the importation of many foriegn made firearm and even some ammo. Hell, the gubmit even stopped the reimportation of thousands of US made firearms!!!! We don't need these senseless restrictions.

I'm all for American manufacturing and product, but banning foreign imports is not the answer. Gray Peterson is spot on. Remember when the British imposed a series of acts to disarm the colonies, we sought and received arms and ammunition from Spain, France and the Netherlands. That foreign help obviously served us well. Thus, while I may prefer American made product, if it is not around, foreign companies make some pretty good and useful arms that we don't want banned in the US.

I thought Glock was doing some of their mfg. in the US now...the 17 I used to have was partially made here, at least assembled here IIRC. My friend just got a SIG a few months ago and it was made in the US as well.

Because those foreign workers need jobs, too. They have rights just like us.

How much ammo do I need? Enough to last me the rest of my life, and then lot more for later.
